99% of people don't change the default, same reason why people don't opt out. It's not really an argument in either direction.

Right, but with this change there is no default. iOS asks you, for every app, whether or not you want to allow tracking, as opposed to just silently defaulting to "allow".

I understand the default though on iOS is to have tracking enabled — but present the user with an alert to allow them to turn it off.
